John Wooden
The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.
John Wooden
Passion is temporary. It doesn't last long. Love is enduring. And that's the important thing. If we all had love in our lives to the degree that we should, it would be much happier.
John Wooden
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
John Wooden
Promise yourself you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible. Promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in yourself and others. Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
John Wooden
Without proper self-evaluation, failure is inevitable.
John Wooden

John Wooden

John Wooden
Build shelter against a rainy day.
John Wooden
I'm no wizard, and I don't like being thought of in that light at all. I think of a wizard as being some sort of magician or something, doing something on the sly or something, and I don't want to be thought of in that way.
John Wooden
Character is more important than any other leadership trait.
John Wooden
Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.
John Wooden
Leaders must have patience for those under your supervision. Don't expect too much too soon. Maybe it was easy for you, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for somebody else. Be sure you have patience.
John Wooden
Decisions are more apt to be accepted when you've listened to suggestions first. I wanted them to see the reason behind what I asked of them, not to do things just because I said so.
John Wooden
The courageous struggle for a noble cause should be considered success itself.
John Wooden
What a leader learns after you've learned it all counts most of all.
John Wooden
If there's anything you could point out where I was a little different, it was the fact that I never mentioned winning.
John Wooden
If you do enough small things right, big things can happen
John Wooden
There are little details in everything you do, and if you get away from any one of the little details, you're not teaching the thing as a whole. For it is little things which, together, make the whole. This, I think, is extremely important.
John Wooden
